Wisconsin Student Announcer's First Trip To the Horseshoe

A Wisconsin student radio announcer from SBNation's Bucky's 5th Quarter made his first hajj to Ohio Stadium this past weekend, and the results are rather hilarious.

Ohio Stadium is loud.

Ohio Stadium is big.

Ohio Stadium is intimidating.

Ohio Stadium is classic.

Ohio Stadium has a lot of history.

Ohio Stadium should be on your sports bucket list.

There's a lot of room outside Ohio Stadium to tailgate.

These are things you already know, but it's interesting to hear them through someone who has never been to Ohio Stadium/isn't affiliated with the school. The kid clearly realizes the regalness of what he experienced. I think, however, this is my favorite paragraph (emphasis his):

Side note: my favorite part was every time the Badgers faced a third down, "Hells Bells" by ACDC would come raining down from the sound system. It got so freaking loud it was absurd. I'm a huge fan of that song at football games and I got chills every single time they played it.

Comments

He was so careful to not come out and say that the Shoe beats Camp Randall, but it's hard to interpret it any other way. Both are fantastic venues I'm certain but he would not have this reaction if he had grown accustomed to it over the years at Camp Randall.

I will say this: I think the difference in the Urban era (as it relates to stadium loudness and overall fan participation in the game) is the students. They are showing up and engaging - and honestly, it might have a lot to do with the quick cals thing they started last year. It is pretty amazing now in year two seeing all of south stands (and even some of the surrounding sections) doing the quick cals in unison with the team. Genius move by Coach Meyer and staff.
GO BUCKS!
